Does anyone know how to eradicate a grave vine? There is a volunteer grape vine that is plagueing my mom. Last spring it had hundreds of bunches of grapes that looked more like vinifera grapes than muscadine, and the leaves are shaped differently too.
I tried to talk her into leaving it until the fruit was ripe so I could try making some wine, but no dice. She hacked it back to the ground. It has come back with a vengeance. As much as I hate to kill a productive fruit plant, it has fallen to me to destroy the grape vine. Does anyone know how to kill it without digging out the roots? It is growing up through a Loquat that we would like to save.

Hey I have a great idea how about instead of killing
This grape vine, what about putting it into a relocation
Program. No think about it, fine some back
Road, plant it with care and next year pick the fruit and
Presto wine, mead fruit beer.

I'm not a hippie,I'm a liberal, so of course I'm pro death. (got a little goth mixed in.) Anyway, I'd love to move it, but it is growing through the roots of a loquat. I'll see if I can get it bare-rooted in time for the next meeting. I wouldn't expext any fruit for a few years after transplanting though.

sorry, the grape vine extraction is a no-go. There's no possibility of removing it intact without cutting down the tree. Does anyone know the proper way to take cuttings at this time of year? I could find out, but if we have a viticulturist in the group?
